I will always strive to provide an open listening environment, showing compassion and encouragement through out our work together. I have quite a varied provider experience that I hope may enhance my work with you.
I started my therapy career holding anger mgt. and domestic violence groups for both men and women under the auspices of a local county government. This led to my working with both abused women and children on a personal basis. I have worked with veterans issues, family and relational issues and the LGBQ community. I feel confident I can help my clients overcome depression,, anxiety and panic challenges.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Kurt Johnson is a extremely helpful and skilled therapist. He's a great listener and can sense what mood you are in. He has plenty of life experiences that he can relate to your experience and has great exercises to teach you that really help in hard times. I can't thank him enough for the time we shared during our sessions.
Great guy to talk to. Knowledgeable and speaks to you like a person.
Kurt has helped my though some tough personal and professional situations. He is a good listener. Tells you what you need to hear, yet is very supportive. I also liked that he was local to my area because he was able to understand my current environment.
Kurt is caring and attentive! Motivates wants results!
Kurt is both personal and professional and has a great sense of humor that brings levity to difficult issues. He is a great listener and reflects back statements and key phrases that helped me better understand issues that I couldn’t identify. I believe you are fortunate if you get paired with Kurt for your BetterHelp experience.
Nice smart person!
Kurt is caring, professional and focused. I am very happy to work with him - pointed questions, listens to answers. Good therapy pushes you to places you would not go on your own. excellent therapist.
Kurt cuts to the heart of the matter on what I need help working towards in my life with the precision of a surgeon...the challenges he lays out for me are on target and are helping me to get on the right track again. I deeply value his insights and feel that the door has finally been opened for me to begin the much-needed healing process in my life.
Kurt Johnson was very helpful with helping me to process my feelings and to deal with some issue with anger. His strategies are those that will continue to employ in the future.
Nice smart guy. I like talking to him
Some place to go when u need help asap . They do a good job of getting help with a therapist.
Just before 2nd session. So far, excellent! Feel like I’m moving forward. Can see the light at the end of what appears to be a short tunnel. Have hope that the rope on this emotional anchor will soon be cut.
Kurt is a kind and caring therapist who truly listens to what you have to say. He has done everything that he can to help me work through my issues and I am all the better for it. Thank you Kurt, you're a star and the best therapist I've ever had!
